Hey, I bet watching a motel on a Saturday night would be entertaining. Every hour there would be a new couple in the room.

No one else has ever came up with something like this and I have a guy/company in Oregon who might want to buy them once they see them and use them. The closest machine that will do all that is an automatic set up that costs over 5 grand and this will sell for $499 plus shipping. Just waiting for one more piece to arrive, which should be today, then I can paint, package and ship it off, hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday.
Sweet! BTW, what's the year and make on the white fire truck you commented on over on FB? That was a nice ride!

Morning Eric.

I don't know what that one is. It LOOKS just like the '43 Seagrave we had with a V-12 gasser in it. That thing would out-pump anything else in the barn, even today. And it was so quiet you couldn't tell it was running. Only held 100 gallons of water tho, which I suppose was big back in '43.

I suspect the brakes were the big issue back then. I was just thinking the truck would have made a nice street rod. It was kinda unusual.

Morning. It's a rainy Monday. We got a dusting of snow last night. But not a nice dry dusting It was the wet sloppy kind. Anyway, it's about all gone this morning with the rain.

And no holsters for Shorts. You boys need to get your lady flowers or a bottle of wine or something. If you go wine, splurge. No twist tops and bump it up to the $8.99 bottle.

Crap! At those prices I'll go broke! Have you ever noticed that Valentine's Day is in the middle of winter? When there aren't any wildflowers to pick. It's a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy! The card manufactures and the florists are in this together.

I think it is a conspiracy.

I'm not a Valentine's day mush. Matter of fact it sorta irritates me. Feels like DH expects we have to do something. Psssh, I can go to dinner any time I want.

I'm a card guy. In the past I've hit the florist shop, and from time to time I still will but right now the wife would be happy with a hug. So that's why she's getting something else. I like to keep her off guard.

That's what I do too.

Well, that's what I WOULD do if I had someone.

Well, no I wouldn't. I don't believe in that crap. Too mushy. It'd be like any other day... "C'mon, get yer butt outta bed and get to work!"

It would be kinda weird sending a Valentines card to your right hand.


Just give your special someone some carrots or maybe a bail of hay.

Why would YOU want to send a Valentines to MY right hand? We've never even met. Are you having 'those' dreams again?
